200 years ago there were so many coyotes in the state that Kentucky declared war on the coyote. It was open season on the coyote which means you can kill them with or with out a hunting license. They say there are more coyotes in the state now than there were 2 hundred years ago. They are here to stay. They're in the cities like louisville and Lexington. They rob garbage cans and dunpsters, kill pets. They are a problem that seems to have no answer.

I don't know but the pelts are worth 20-25 dollars each

As a quasi environmentalist I wonder about here and the ground squirrel holes that break the cattle's legs, the squirrels that the coyotes eat to maintain the population? Totally off topic as well is the wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone. The beaver population went up, willows they fed on grew in abundance, etc,... Well in is unseasonably warm here since nine years ago, and less snow fall than twelve years ago. Cyclic and not global warming, or is it?

I've never seen a coyote around here, in fact the only place I've ever seen one live was in a zoo. We too, have an abundance of deer. They don't present a problem except trampling the grass. Apparently I have no vegetation that interest them. My husband had a very close call with a deer that darted across the road late one night. The deer came out of nowhere and luckily, when he swerved the car, there was no one in the other lane. It was a big buck and could have resulted in a disaster. Many forms of wildlife have been displaced due to suburban sprawl. We are overrun by armadillos, anyone want some? Could we trade your armadillos for our deer?

Armadillos are hard to crack

But I live in the 'burbs, so it's illegal to shoot them around here...too many people. People, of course, can be shot, and often are. That's a different matter.

Unseasonably warm and yes we have the town herd of deer in our back yard. Pheasant, Turkey, Eagles, Hawks, White Weasel, Mountain Lions, Turkey Vultures and down in the Cutler Marsh, all kinds of water fowl.
